Oleoresins & Spice Oil

Abstract

Oleoresins are the flavour extracts obtained by the solvent extraction of the ground spices. They have aroma of spice and possess the attributes which contribute to the taste such as pungency. All the spices contain essential oils in varying proportions which can be extracted by steam distillation. India is one of the leading producers of spices and instead of exporting raw spices, it is advisable to export value-added products.
